MICHAEL YOUNG RUMORS
Player Profile #65: Michael Young | 1B/3B | TEX
To all you Michael Young haters out there, lay off the dude! We’ve written a lot about the great values you can find targeting low-average hitters with great power/speed combos, but you can’t build a balanced fantasy roster without a couple guys who do the opposite. Young represents the very best of this “opposite” class of players. He’s batted over...

Voting For Michael Young is Proof Sports Writers Shouldn’t Vote for Hall of Fame or Awards
After letting these thoughts stew for a few hours, it’s time for me to say my thoughts on Texas Rangers infielder Michael Young getting a first place vote for the MVP.
Are you freaking kidding me? Really? Michael Young? Not Miguel Cabrera? Not Jacoby Ellsbusy? Not Justin Verlander? Not Jorge Bautista? Michael Young? That is one of the worst votes in the history of sports award...

Young proud of the effort displayed by Rangers
ST. LOUIS There's no one who takes more pride of putting on the Texas Rangers uniform than Michael Young.
That may make the sting of losing a World Series when the team was one strike away from winning it twice a little tougher for the club's all-time hits' leader to take.
"Obviously this is going to sting for a while," Young said. "It's pretty fresh. Obviously the last two nights...

Michael Young Caught Picking His Nose During World Series (Picture)
That is Rangers DH/infielder Michael Young making his finest pick of the World Series. Don’t worry, Mike, we’re not picking on you; I can barely keep my fingers out of my nose long enough to bang out a few stories here at LBS. Keep it up, brother. Pic via @cjzero

(Video) Sports Anchor: ‘Michael Young Sharts At Shortstop Tonight’
Now that would be something to see. Texas Rangers utility infielder Michael Young walking out to his spot in the infield and sharting. It’s funny, you see, because somehow, he got the words “start” and shortstop” all intertwined (he’s like a s**t salesman with a mouthful of samples) and “shart” has an entirely different meaning [...]

Young stayed in Texas, posts one of his best years
Michael Young insists he never really wanted to leave Texas, even after requesting a trade last winter.
So when the Rangers' longest-tenured player stayed in Texas, he stayed Young and is having one of the best seasons in his career.
''It's one of the best trades that never happened,'' teammate David Murphy said.
The 34-year-old Young has remained a steady...

An Untimely Meditation on Michael Young
Michael Young just won’t got away. He’s 34 years old. He’s a bad defender pretty much anywhere he’s put on the diamond. He doesn’t walk much or hit for exceptional power. His biannual off-season whining (Remember “misled and manipulated?” Good times.) when moved to accommodate superior fielders has damaged his reputation for some as a guy...

Young among the top candidates for MVP
Michael Young for American League Most Valuable Player?
It sounds strange that Young is even in the conversation because all the Texas super utility player is doing is having his typical season. It's just that the circumstances he's playing under this season seem to have garnered Young more recognition for what he's been able to do.
And rightfully so.
Remember last year when...
